It's a very curious situation. Every country in the world wants to export massive amounts of stuff to the US in exchange for worthless bits of paper. But nobody wants to buy stuff from us. Do you know.. I was just thinking more about this line. Reminds me of when the traders came to the Americas, with their shiny glass beads, bright cloth, and other trade goods, and took away big loads of animal pelts that native peoples had to bust their cans off to trap and prepare. There's an element of that which still exists in almost all trade transactions to this day -- only what is it that we're all "buying" when we spend our money on "trade goods". We buy that $8.50 (Cdn) "Dora, the Explorer" pop-up book, manufactured in China, but with all licence fees going back to Viacom Int'l, and some cut going to Simon & Schuster Publishing as the publisher/distributor. Glass beads and pop-up books... you don't have to be "manufacturing" your trade goods in order to buy and sell the world. -croc
